History

The hospital has its origins in the Denbighshire Dispensary which became the first voluntary hospital in Wales when it was established in Park Street in 1807. [1] A purpose-built facility, which was designed by Thomas Harrison, was built in Park Street between 1810 and 1813. [2] It started admitting inpatients and became the Denbighshire Infirmary and General Dispensary from March 1826. [3]

It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and became a community hospital in the 1980s. [4] The Princess Royal visited the hospital to celebrate its bi-centenary in October 2007. [5]
